I have enjoyed my learning on theOption Alpha platform and wanted to share more about their methodology since it is excellent resource for options trading and strategies.

Specifically, they focus on leveraging selling option premium, implied volatility and risk-defined strategies for more consistent return while minimizing portfolio risk and volatility.

The proof is in the numbers, so they have posted their real-time portfolio performance metrics which outline the most successful strategies over thousands of trades.

As mentioned previously, they offer free full video course tracks, podcasts on iTunes and publications on their website. In addition, their premium services include full access to their membership forum, real-time trade analysis/alerts, automated software tools and many more features.

Personally, I enjoy their education-first and by-the-numbers approach which takes the guessing out of trading and focuses on risk-defined strategies.

Kudos again to Kirk and Option Alpha for their hard work on building out such an excellent platform!

I enjoyed listening to Chat with Traders Episode #2with Kirk Du Plessis, founder of Option Alpha which is excellent resource for options trading and strategies.

I used part my summer to study up for my current course (statistical methods) at HES so am working thru the class textbook, OpenIntro Statistics.

The textbook is open-source, which means lots of useful updates/contributions and material is readily available for free. It was designed as a template for instructors to use for teaching their own courses.

That said, the topics has come in handy not only for class but in my study of algorithmic trading and financial markets.

The name says it all – StockTwits is Twitter for trading and curates streams by users and ticker symbols in your network. It separates the signal from the noise since Twitter can otherwise be a noisy place.

Kudos to Aaron for this interview and Chat with Traders, please keep up the great work!
